Time Passing

Well a week after the last post, my hometown was struck by an earthquake bringing my city to its knees.

Prior to this, I had been going to post on the dynamics of changing the desks and tables around in a classroom and the scaffolding of tasks for students. I was also thinking about teaching two classes at the same year level how similar and yet, how different they can be. 

This now seems less important when many people are struggling without power, water and heating. My school day is now condensed from 8am -12:35pm which impacts on family life as well as curriculum delivery and prior to the April holidays everyone just seemed so exhausted.

Reflection on pedogogy is still happening but the tide is changing and you must wonder what is coming around the corner.
